0-59/10 * * * * is_nighttime && power-outlet iBoot ON host mylamp> 5-59/10 * *
* * is_daytime && power-outlet iBoot OFF host mylamp I'm finally putting
plan to code and I ran into an issue that there does not appear to be a
standard for the location of a system. In order to calculate the sunset and
sunrise for my is_nighttime/is_daytime scripts, I need to know the location of
the host. Please let me know if you know of any system location standards for
something that I feel should be ubiquitous. For now, I'm planning to add a file
to /etc/profiles.d to add this environment variable for the users on my server.
my ($lon, $lat, $hae) = split(/\s/,
$ENV{"LOCATION_COORDINATES_WGS84_LON_LAT_HAE"}||""); It might be nice to
populate it from data stored in a /etc/local.coordinates file or something.
>From my perspective, knowing your location is as important as knowing your
time zone (e.g. /etc/localtime)
/etc/local.coordinates[main]version=1crs=wgs84latitude=38.896783longitude=-77.036509hae=30address=1600
